Yetunde

The Life and Times of a Yoruba Girl in London (1) by Segilola Salami

\n

From the dawn of time itself Afri
can folktales have been passed from generation to generation – in a way th
at’s almost as timeless as the stories that have survived through the same
centuries.

\n

Where once the village fire was the lynchpin to
the fables spoken around it and from adult to child\, author Segilola Sal
ami now uses the written word to do the same – with first novel Yetunde: T
he Life and Times of a Yoruba girl in London.

\n

Yetunde is a series of stories that follows the every day life
of 6 month old Yetunde as she’s narrated African folktales by her mom Iya
Yetunde whilst growing up in London. Iya Yetunde also tries to improve her
Yoruba speaking ability\, so we see a nice mish mash of Yoruba and Englis
h. The folktales are of West African origin
